Interval training is an ideal technique for new runners. It builds stamina, improves confidence, and promotes healthy weight loss to boot. This beginner-friendly, 35-minute workout alternates between periods of running and walking, and it comes with an uplifting playlist to add enthusiasm to every step. Be sure to get in an active warmup [1] to loosen up your body, and then get ready to run. You'll kick off the run strong with a fast-paced U2 tune, then you'll go for a brisk walk with Rihanna [2].
